When Should You Convert PNG to JPG?
PNG and JPG serve different purposes. PNG is lossless and supports transparency — ideal for logos, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges. JPG uses lossy compression and produces much smaller files for photographs and images without transparency.
If you're sharing photos on social media, uploading to a website, or sending by email, converting PNG to JPG reduces file size significantly without any visible difference at 90%+ quality.
What happens to transparency?
JPG does not support transparent pixels. This tool fills transparent areas with a white background during conversion. If your PNG has important transparency (like a logo with a clear background), consider keeping it as PNG or converting to WebP instead.
